THE FORMULA 1®

CHANGING LIVES AROUND

THE WORLD

Welcome to the World of F1® in Schools

We are now in our 16th year of operation and this amazing challenge has grown around the world – operating now in over 44 countries We are privileged to have the support of the Formula 1 community – in particular Mr Ecclestone at Formula One Management and, of course, the Formula 1 teams who make our students welcome in the F1 Paddock and in their factories.

There are many success stories of students who have actually come through our initiative and have gone on to achieve significant outcomes in their lives including positions in Formula 1 teams.

As F1® in Schools moves into the future we will continue to expand into more and more countries.

This is the largest and most successful school based STEM program in the world and we will continue to grow on our success.

We have many exciting plans for the future!

Andrew Denford

Founder and Chairman, F1® in Schools

WELCOME

Offering a way to learn Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) related subjects in such an exciting way is achieving great results and we know we are increasing the intake of students into Engineering careers.

You are a Formula 1® team commissioned to design, construct and race the fastest Formula 1® Car of the Future, powered by compressed air cylinders.

The Competition What’s it all about?

7 - PIT BOOTH Put together an informative display showing your work through all stages of the project.

Think about your team identity.

1 - FORM AN F1® TEAM Form a team of 3 - 6 students, think of a name, decide job roles; Team Manager, Manufacturing Engineer, Design Engineer, Graphic Designer and Resource Manager. Now register for regional finals.

8 - SCRUTINEERING Cars are submitted to parc fermé where the judges scrutinize every dimension to check they comply with the Rules and Regulations.

2 - BUSINESS AND SPONSORSHIP PLAN Prepare a business plan, develop a budget and raise sponsorship. Teams are encouraged to collaborate with industry and create business links.

9 - ENGINEERING JUDGING Judges question teams on how their car has been manufactured and why particular designs were chosen.

10 - VERBAL PRESENTATION Prepare a presentation to perform to a panel of judges covering all aspects of the challenge. This will be completed within a set time limit. (10 mins)

3 - DESIGN 4 - ANALYSE Aerodynamics are analysed for drag coefficiency in a Virtual Reality Wind Tunnel using Computational Fluid Dynamics Software (CFD).

11 - PORTFOLIO JUDGING Put together a 20 page A3 portfolio documenting your project.

5 - MAKE Using 3D CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture) software, the team evaluates the most efficient machining strategy to make the car.

:04

6 - TEST Aerodynamics are tested in wind and smoke tunnels.

Aerodynamics is a major focus for all teams involved in the world of Formula 1 and can make the difference to a winning team. Students can fine tune designs to optimise speed and drag co-efficiency.

Compete Regionally, Nationally and Internationally at the World Finals for the Bernie Ecclestone World Champions Trophy.

12 - RACE Teams are judged on car speed, as well as supporting evidence of their design, verbal presentation and marketing display stand in “the pits”.

THE COMPETITION, WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

Using 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) software, the team designs an F1 car of the future to the specification set by the International Rules Committee, just like in Formula 1.

Teams put the cars to their ultimate test by racing them over a measured distance with the F1® in Schools 20m elevated track and F1 in Schools race system.

After graduating from the F1® in Schools competition I joined the F1® in Schools management team on a one year placement before starting my degree at the University of Reading. I’ve had the time of my life and I’m now looking forward to my new role at BMW UK.

Our achievement in F1® in Schools has also made me realise that success comes through hard work and this will be the same for other areas of life, whether personally, academically or in any future career.

My outlook has changed. Previously I’ve had hopes and aspirations for the future but F1® in Schools has taught me how I can make my dreams become reality.

It has taught me the importance of working effectively with others and as part of a team. Within our team we have built unshakeable bonds and we work closely with people from the local community as well as national and international businesses.

It has also given me so many opportunities; Formula 1 is such a high-powered, high-pressure world but being part of F1® in Schools has allowed us to visit team factories travel the world and be in the pits and garages at Grand Prixs just minutes before the start of a race.

THE ULTIMATE DREAM REALISED: FROM F1® IN SCHOOLS TO THE REAL WORLD OF FORMULA 1®!

Matt Cruikshank

“I wouldn’t have got this far without F1® in Schools”, says Matt Cruickshank, a 23 year-old graduate from Sydney, Australia, who has realised his ambition to work in Formula One. “My experience in the programme led me to secure a work placement followed by a full time job in Aero at Red Bull Racing.”

in Schools helped me with was presentation skills - It gave me practical experience when presenting in public and having interviews, both are key skills to have when applying for jobs.”

Matt represented Australia at the 2008 F1® in Schools World Finals in Malaysia. There, his team finished third outright, beating students from more than 20 other nations and also picked up the Best Engineered Car Award.

“F1® in Schools bought out the passion I had for motor sport and engineering. It also gave me a unique insight into F1 and taught me a lot about the industry which was vital when I applied for this job”, “F1® in Schools taught me general engineering skills, how to solve problems - It also taught me a lot about how to work as a team to achieve goals! One of the most important areas F1®

Placement Student Red Bull Racing

He adds, “I always wanted to work in F1 but ultimately I saw it as a long term goal. I certainly never imagined working in F1 in my second year of university. If you had told me 5 years ago that I would be working for the a World Champion of Formula 1 team I probably wouldn’t have believed you.”

Matt started off in an aerodynamic development team using wind tunnels and then moved on to the CFD department, using computational fluid dynamics to analyse the aerodynamics of the cars in a virtual environment. A typical day for Matt is spent simulating airflow over the race car using super computers, analysing the results and working with the aerodynamicists.

CASE STUDIES

Students involved each year

Has being involved in F1® in Schools changed my life? Definitely! Formula 1 racing is about achievement. It’s about how you set a goal and, through teamwork, planning, excellence and hard work, how you achieve that goal. You need exactly the same attributes to be successful in F1® in Schools and, ultimately, successful in life.

This competition has given me something that the National Curriculum never could; the chance to have fun with my friends whilst encompassing every discipline possible; providing me with an invaluable wealth of experience.

“Fundamentally this is the same as the work the students do in F1® in Schools, but on a much bigger scale!”

Women in Motorsport

Formula One Management Support

“As a member of the Women in Motorsports Commission, I’m delighted to see that the Commission is now collaborating with F1® in Schools. I truly believe that this initiative will help to attract girls to be engaged in motorsports.

I don’t see any reason why girls should not be successful there. What they need is the necessary level of support from their environment. I really hope to see a woman competing in Formula 1 in the future, fighting for victories.”

Monisha Kaltenborn

“I truly believe that this initiative will help to attract girls to be engaged in motorsports.”

F1® in Schools is a truly global challenge which meets all the objectives of our business.

“I am delighted to have become a Patron for in Schools. The tasks that all participating students have to go through to establish their own Formula 1 team during the Challenge not only exposes to them to the type of work required for creating, producing and running a team such as Williams, but also equips them with a variety of life skills. It will be fascinating for us to see first-hand what the designers, engineers and marketeers of the future come up with year after year.”
